Hi,
Hmm, I think giving the additional error was intentional, which is why we check for error_operand_p after giving it. But I suppose I'm not attached to that.

We could avoid reformatting by adding

if (error_operand_p (bounds))
  /* Already gave an error.  */;

OK either way.
Thanks. Thus I'm going to apply the below.

By the way, something I didn't like about the simpler patch not tweaking cp_parser_direct_declarator is that we would handle inconsistently the two tests in auto25.C, producing the more verbose diagnostic only for the first one. A little more work would be needed.

Paolo.
